The fashion industry has a serious problem when it comes to sustainability and ethics, with many brands making empty promises.

Last week, I exposed a popular fast fashion brand for their false claims of "environmentally friendly leather." But not all hope is lost in the world of fashion. In this video, I take a closer look at Strathberry, a brand known for their trendy designs and commitment to sustainability.

I previously reviewed Strathberry on this channel and I'm impressed, but I wanted to dig deeper and see if their sustainability efforts are truly genuine. From materials to manufacturing practices, I examine each aspect to give you an honest and fair assessment.

DISCLAIMER: This is an UNSPONSORED review. I purchased all of these products myself and am not affiliated with the brand mentioned in any way. All statements and expressions made about the products are solely the opinion of Tanner Leatherstein and are not meant to be conclusive or definitive. The purpose of this video is for informational and educational purposes only. We recommend that as a consumer, you exercise your due diligence and research on the products before adopting the opinion of Tanner Leatherstein.

NOTE: The labor cost is based on the complexity of the design of the product and is a “guesstimate” of the labor cost we think we’ll incur if we were to make the same products in our workshop. It is not based on the time it takes for the brand to finish the product.
